"Are you Thor, the God of Thunder?" Bruce Banner's gaze shifted to Thor. "The one from the legendary Asgard?"
"Dr. Banner, nice to meet you," Thor managed to squeeze out a smile that was almost imperceptible.
"Really?" Tony Stark interjected, "Thor, are you sure you want to say 'nice to meet you' and not 'stay away from me and my brother'? After all, that would be more fitting." After teasing Thor, Tony Stark walked up to Bruce Banner. "Dr. Banner, nice to meet you. My 'nice to meet you' is genuine."
"Stark, nice to meet you too," Bruce Banner shook hands with Tony Stark and whispered, "What's wrong with Thor?"
Tony Stark, who usually had thick skin, was reminded by Bruce Banner and noticed that Thor's expression was as gloomy as if he had lost his brother.
"Thor, why the long face?" Tony Stark, who was already acquainted with Thor, asked directly.
"Loki is dead," Thor said sadly.
"Oh, really?" Tony Stark paused for a moment. "Thor, we all know what your brother did. Normally, I should say 'my condolences,' but my inner self won't let me say those words, so I won't say anything."
"Stark, the Battle of New York won't happen," Thor forced a smile. "I believe we should congratulate ourselves for avoiding a major disaster."
"Thor, pull yourself together," Steve Rogers said. "We still have tough battles ahead."
"Dr. Banner, you seem to have gotten along well with Romanoff," Tony Stark said to Bruce Banner.
"Although there were some misunderstandings at first, overall, it was quite pleasant," Bruce Banner replied.
"About your problem here..." Tony Stark pointed to his temple. "How's it going? You saw Dr. Banner, and you're easily manipulated."
"If it were that easy to solve, I wouldn't have been living in hiding for so many years," Bruce Banner paused and continued, "Although we fought side by side in the futures you showed me, I don't think it's a wise choice for me to join the Avengers."
"Dr. Banner, I believe we can find a way to deal with your mental issues," Tony Stark said. "In fact, I have a bottle of cola with me. Although it can't solve your mental problems, it can prevent you from being manipulated."
"Cola?" Bruce Banner said. "The stuff that makes people fat and lazy?"
"That should be a kind of magical potion," Thor explained. "After drinking it, you'll be immune to all magical attacks. It's the reward we received after the last quiz."
"Even so, I think it's still worth evaluating whether it's worth it for me to join your little team," Bruce Banner replied.
[The quiz starts now. Please prepare yourself!]
[First question: Who appears unable to lift Thor's hammer on the surface but has secretly mastered a set of combos?]
[A. Bruce Banner, the Hulk]
[B. Tony Stark, Iron Man]
[C. Steve Rogers, Captain America]
[D. Stephen Strange, Doctor Strange]
[If you answer correctly, you will receive a Magic Immunity Potion, which grants immunity to all magical damage for 10 minutes. If you answer incorrectly, one year of your lifespan will be deducted.]
"Well, this reward is not bad either. We have a witch enemy in the future, don't we?" Tony Stark spoke first. "With this potion, she won't be a concern."
"Is it the Scarlet Witch?" Steve Rogers recalled the Scarlet Witch's performance in the videos. "Although the immunity to magical attacks only lasts for 10 minutes, with those 10 minutes, we can surely deal with her."
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves with the rewards," Thor spoke up. "This question is somewhat absurd. Mjolnir, the hammer, belongs solely to me, Thor. Besides me, no one else can wield it. Have you all forgotten about that?"
"Thor, even after answering a round of questions, your mindset still hasn't changed?" Tony Stark said. "In this world, there's simply nothing absolute. Your hammer, maybe 99.99% of the people in the world can't lift it, but there's definitely that 0.01% who can. It's just that the number of people who can lift it is extremely rare, and you haven't encountered any."
"Stark, this isn't some mathematical probability problem," Thor argued. "The hammer was forged by my father specifically for me. It is meant only for me, and it was predetermined by my father that no one else can wield it."
"Thor, then how do you explain this question?" Tony Stark retorted.
"Let's focus on the question for now," Thor said after a moment of silence. "I don't know why this situation has arisen."
"On the surface, unable to lift it actually means it can be lifted," Bruce Banner interjected. "Except for Doctor Strange, all options A, B, and C are present. Thor, why don't you bring out the hammer and let us each give it a try?"
"Unfortunately," Thor shrugged. "I didn't bring the hammer with me. I already tried when I saw the question, but my connection with the hammer has been severed. I can't sense it at all. Within this quiz space, I can't summon the hammer."
"Thor, the Magic Immunity Potion should have been easily obtained," Tony Stark said. "Now, we can only analyze."
"Thor, I remember the video mentioning that your hammer was forged using the core of a neutron star," Steve Rogers said. "So, is your hammer very heavy?"
"Extremely heavy," Thor replied. "If we consider strength alone, this is not a problem that can be solved by mere physical strength. When Dr. Banner transforms, his strength is limitless, but even he can't possibly lift a neutron star."
"But when that neutron star fell to Earth, it didn't harm the planet," Bruce Banner chimed in, exuding a scientist's aura. "With such a massive mass and yet only the size of a hammer, its density must be exaggeratedly high. For it, the Earth is like a sheet of paper that can be easily pierced. However, when it is placed on the ground, it doesn't penetrate the surface. This indicates that the laws of physics don't apply to it. Therefore, it's absurd to judge who can lift the hammer based on physical strength."
"Dr. Banner is correct. This is definitely not physics or science," Tony Stark continued where Bruce Banner left off. "It should be magic or some other realm that we can't comprehend."
